FUSION SoSe25: Public lecture series on infrastructures

Researchers, planners and designers are invited to the weekly public lecture series Fusion to report on their work with a special focus on their position on architecture, city and landscape and to discuss it with guests. Newly appointed professors and guest lecturers give their inaugural lectures as part of Fusion.

Last semester we already asked in the lecture series: What is the state of building culture in Kassel and northern Hesse? In the 2025 summer semester, we are now focusing on major infrastructure projects: Freeways, rail lines, wind turbines, mining, industrial estates and bunkers.

Each of these projects addresses a social need, and almost every one of them is met with protest. How legitimate are the needs, how legitimate is the protest? What contribution do the projects make to transformation and social renewal? Are there alternatives?

Each evening of the lecture series allows different actors to have their say and invites a joint discussion.

Moderated and conceived by Philipp Oswalt
